Yes and no. It will probably work, but in my experience it was quite
sensitive to the exact version of KVM & whether features such as ACPI
were enabled or disabled. Maybe XP is better -- I was using W2K8.
Note that KVM requires hardware virtualization support in your CPU and
(for Intel) BIOS.

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into Xen guests.
